It's a simple law of nature that if you put more effort in your work, you reduce the error rate or risk. You can't have zero error probability, but you can have zero errors. In other words, you cannot guarantee there will be zero errors, but the higher the effort, the lower the error probability, the higher the chance there might be zero errors (a lucky person could write a zero-error book in one take).This is why saying it's impossible to have a zero-error book is BS, and it seems to be sometimes thrown as an excuse. And anyway, the very simple proof that there can be zero-error books is that if you publish them, collect the errata for let's say 1 year, and then reprint them, the reprint can be very much error-free. Maybe you check again for another year and a couple of errors still spring up. Then reprint a 3rd time. After a couple of rounds, they will be error-free.Who said doing so comes without a cost? I'm speaking against those who say it's impossible. Then I also said why it's not very reasonable for a RPG book to hope it's error free in the first print (but if there will be other print runs in the future, it might be possible, considering that rumors are talking about VERY FEW errors found so far in the PHB).</blockquote>
